Reply to I Hate to Complain, But... in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Sometimes I go puttering about in the old skins. Most of the Win7 skins work pretty well on Win10, even the Vista skins if you're a little forgiving. (I wouldn't pay for one unless I were prepared to do a little SkinStudio tweaking, but that's not really what we're talking about here.) Once you hit the "right arrow" in the gallery and the 2nd page comes up, you can just replace the ending "2" with a bigger number, say "50", in the address bar and jump back like a little ti

I was wondering why I wasn't seeing the 1903 update. I see it's in that "Check for updates" button state. I swore off the "Check for updates" button after our friend warned us that Microsoft considers anyone who clicks on that button to be a "seeker" who wants not-quite-ready-for-primetime updates (without really telling anyone that). Just in case anyone doesn't know or has forgotten. <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-window

Reply to substyle not working and how to choose substyles per application in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

There are "Presets" and there are "Substyles", the two are not the same. Presets are for the general adjustments you make in WB such as the general color shifts, the transparency adjustments, and the texture additions. They are changes made "on top of" a substyle (for lack of a better description). When you change a system color, even within WB, you are editing the actual substyle, which is why it persists every time you change it and create a new Preset. You would w

Don, I copy/pasted his line directly into a shortcut and it did work for me (on Win10). "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -disable-features=Windows10CustomTitlebar As he said though, it does only work for the specific shortcut you've edited, so if you have any shortcuts that go to websites directly it has no effect for them (they open Chrome without the switch).
